<p>Well, the first thing you should do is eat and sleep. If you can't eat, I would seek medical attention. Seriously.</p>
<p>Are you overseas or someplace that mail reaches with difficulty? Perhaps a good idea would be to look up the main admissions email address on the website, and email them your postal address, to make sure they have the right one. Then call them, ask them to find the email, and mail the decision again to that address.</p>
<p>they have my correct email and mailing address, i confirmed that on the phone.</p>
<p>i have never received any email from Caltech, i didn't even get the mail they sent every buddy saying that they mailed the decisions.</p>
<p>they refused to tell me the decision over the phone, or to email it to an other email address of mine.</p>
<p>BTW i am in New Delhi India.</p>
<p>It's a tough situation. The decisions were mailed only about a week ago, and international mail can take longer than that. So you are likely to receive the package or letter, just not very quickly. Until then, there's nothing that can really be done. :-( I'm sorry I can't say anything more useful.</p>

<p>Keep your head up. You may hear better news in the spring. This process can be a crap shoot. Good luck with your other schools, too.</p>
<p>I really want to thank Ben for being so encouraging. Especially, when so many other people are so negative in this process..
Congrats to those that are accepted and luck to those that are deferred.</p>
